I was searching for something different to tie and found a fly called the Grand River Bleeding Minnow. This was featured in an article in Eastern Fly Fishing (Jan 2009 issue). The article was on the Grand River in Ohio.

It is a clouser type of fly tied with Marabou and is predominantly chartreuse. It is not a large fly, and would fish well with a 5 wt.

What do you think? Sounds like we have a lot of tying to do, I need to get to work!
